Gen. Agyneta Hull, 1911 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:00822 ]
N.B.: considered a senior synonym of Anomalaria Dahl, 1912b: 611 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:05994] (type Neriene subtilis O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1863) by Simon, 1922: 716, of Meioneta Hull, 1920a: 9 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:01087] (type Micryphantes rurestris C. L. Koch, 1836) by Dupérré, 2013: 8 (after Saaristo, 1973b: 461, contra Wunderlich, 1973b: 418), of Aprolagus Simon, 1929: 541 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:05414] (type Neriene saxatilis Blackwall, 1844) by Saaristo, 1973b: 461 (Wunderlich, 1973b: 418), of Syedrula Simon, 1929: 535 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:05417] (type Neriene innotabilis O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1863) by Dupérré, 2013: 8 (after Saaristo, 1973b: 461, contra Millidge, 1977: 45) and of Gnathantes Chamberlin & Ivie, 1943: 5 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:05414] (type G. ferosa Chamberlin & Ivie, 1943) by Crawford, 1988: 18; Meioneta was considered a senior synonym of Ischnyphantes Simon, 1929: 538, 717 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:06070] (type Micryphantes rurestris C. L. Koch, 1836) by Hull, 1933: 105 and a synonym of Eupolis O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1901a: 26 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:05415] (type E. excavatus O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1901 = Agyneta mollis (O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1871)) by Bristowe, 1941: 516 [unclear why not the senior synonym is taken as valid, it is supposed that Eupolis was taken as nomen obitum]; some authors (such as Tanasevitch, 1984b or 1989a) have also regarded Meioneta as a subgenus of Agyneta (contra Millidge, 1977 and Merrett, Locket & Millidge, 1985); revalidation of Gnathantes, proposed by Breitling, 2019b: 28, not accepted here as it is based mainly on COI (see FAQ 7).
